I agree with you.

The problem I think is that many people I talk to just assume its illegal anyway, or find it hard to believe a firm like BT would do something so obscene.

But I'm sure some also don't understand how they can influence or exercise control over the internet.

The killer though is the mainstream press; we would need great coverage from them. Its not impossible, Chris Williams coverage has been brilliant. Charles Arthur has written online, but nothing I've seen in the paper pages. Daily Mail did some great work early on, but they've been silent of late.

It seems some newspaper groups have been sold a pipe dream by Phorm.

Perhaps noting sympathetic journalists when you read the paper, and writing to them would help get a wider audience? For example I think I recall reading an article by Janet Street-Porter in the Independent lamenting the intrusions on her privacy. Perhaps she could be interested?

One other option is writing or offering copy for them to use.

Pete.
